Originally launched in 2000 the Maritime Works standard BS 6349-1 is being replaced by four subparts. BS 6349-1-4 which has recently been published by BSI, the business standards company, gives recommendations for the materials (specifically concrete) used in the design, construction and maintenance of structures in a marine environment.

This part of BS 6349 gives guidance and recommendations on the design of moorings and floating structures at inshore locations. The mooring of ships alongside fixed structures is included in BS 6349 : Part 4. Information on wave, wind and current loads which is specific to moored floating structures is contained in section two. It should be used in conjunction with the general information for all maritime structures, contained in BS 6349 : Part 1. The selection, design and analysis of moorings is covered in section three which also includes information on anchors, mooring equipment and maintenance and inspection of moorings. Detailed information on the design of deepwater mooring structures for the offshore industry is beyond the scope of the code and is not included. Design criteria which are specific to floating structures are covered in section four. Loads, codes and classification society rules are considered together with fundamental information and criteria on stability, motion response and longitudinal strength. General information on pontoons, floating docks and floating breakwaters is provided in section five. Information on the detailed design of such structures is not included since specific codes and rules already exist. The standards referred to are available from British Standards Institution, 2 Park Street, London, W1A 2BS, U.K. 2ff7e9595c
